From f4b4bdf29ace71475b18aae9377402a534f09a72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Amadeusz=20S=C5=82awi=C5=84ski?= Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 17:06:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: Revert "ALSA: hda: Allow setting preallocation again for x86" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This reverts commit f8e4ae10de43 ("ALSA: hda: Allow setting preallocation again for x86"). The reverted commit itself is a revert of c31427d0d21e ("ALSA: hda: No preallocation on x86 platforms"). It was needed because HDA allowed very big allocations, up to 1GB per stream. However as previous commit in this series changes maximum allowed allocation per stream to 4MB, we can safely revert it back. On systems where there are a lot of FrontEnds, when CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE != 0 ALSA core allocates memory for each FE, which may cause out of memory problems due to per card limit. Force config to 0 on X86, so memory will be allocated on as needed basis.
